Is Literary History Possible? - Paperback
by David Perkins (Author)
Is Literary History Possible? is a landmark study of the thinking underlying recent theory about literary history. Through analysis of particular literary histories--most of them contemporary works--Perkins elaborates on two fundamental problmes that arise in the writing of literary history: the contradictions inherent in organizing, structuring, and presenting the subject; and the "always unsuccessful" attempt of literary histories to explain the development of the literature they describe.
